There are some who just don't want to get hurt.

stupidity?

Because the person they are looking to be with just does not exist in reality and they cannot or will not allow themselves to move on from their image of a perfect partner.

Perhaps they find their carreer to be a lot more important than a family life (which I guess would fall under 'simply wanting to'). Others may just not have the social skills required to meet the right person, or they may just be anti-social, both of which may not directly be a choice of their own, but may be influenced by outside factors.

My boss is 45 and she was married for about 12 years with no kids, and got a divorce because of physical abuse. Since I've known her she says she wants to find someone, but she's not really looking. She's been single for about 13 years and I don't think she's ever going to get married. She focuses too much on taking care of other people in her family than finding her own happiness and life, in my opinion. I think a part of her just doesn't want to get hurt and a part of her thinks that Prince Charming is gonna come sweep her off her feet and take her away to a far away land...

They may be disfigured, or think they are, and feel no-one would be interested.
